About Department of Regional Australia, Local Government, Arts and Sport

The Department of Regional Australia, Local Government, Arts and Sport supports a strong, creative and liveable Australia by focussing on regional development and empowering communities to achieve economic and social dividends. At the core of the Department’s work is an understanding of the significance of the regions to Australia’s economy, environment, wellbeing and identity.

We achieve this through partnerships and policy design which gives regions a voice and contributes to effective service and program delivery. Through this we foster a sense of renewal as the demographics of regions change and we encourage regions to embrace the opportunities that advances in technology bring to communication, commerce, education and health. We also assist regions to diversify their economic base in their own way by driving local leadership, improving governance and building partnerships.

We recognise the central role that the creative industries and engagement with sport play in our national identity and in building strong liveable communities. This is assisted by developing and administering policies and programs that endorse the arts, including those that celebrate and build pride in our Indigenous culture, and by promoting sport at the grassroots, national and elite levels.

Combined, these activities form the backbone of the Government’s commitment to people living in our regions and promote the unique Australian character forged by sport, culture and the arts and the diversity of the regions from the cities to the outback.
